I figure with the "stuff" people in this group latch onto someone might have
one of these. I presently have a WangDAT 3200 (2/4gb DDS1 tape) drive with
the narrow faceplate and I want to put it into the external SCSI case I have
now with my other 3200. Problem being that it's the 3.5" mount and that it
won't really go into a 5.25 to 3.5" adapter as it's as tall as a 5.25" half
height drive desoite it being only 3.5" wide. That basically makes it 1.5x
as tall as a normal 3.5" floppy drive - no go for a regular adapter.

Both Mountain and WangDAT made an adapter for 5.25" for these 2 drives
specifically consisting of a 5.25" faceplate and two 3.5" to 5.25" side
brackets (about the same as a standard adapter has). If anyone has a JUNK
3100 or 3200 drive around they want to get rid of, parts or left overs from
one or even a spare good drive (3100 or 3200) they want to sell cjeap then
drop me a direct note or on the list. I will contact you direct. If you have
a drive with the 5.25" face and want to swap to the smaller 3.5" then that
works too as I have an extra 3.5" faceplate I can mail out in advance.

Thanks in advance.
